Going to Shell

Went to the Shell Wednesday night for the Askew Nixon Ferguson architects party and took a little tour backstage.

Now I never went backstage before the Shell's renovation, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I hear it was pretty awful.

But now backstage is very nice. If you're ever asked to perform there, you should do it. Just to go back there.

I took this awful camera picture of the bathroom signage because I thought it was very cute. It reminds me of the signage at the FedExForum, but I think — think — this is a little different (and much cuter).

(And yes, I looked for an image of the FedExForum bathrooms on google so I could compare the two, but nothing came up. Darn.)

ps. Sorry to anyone who missed me yesterday. I spent most of it at the old MGM studio downtown with my good pal, the chubby vegetarian. Unfortunately, he didn't cook, but he did enlighten me to Boscos' downtown brewery, so I guess that makes up for it.
